The defendants, Mas’udu Abdullahi Bachirawa and Kabiru Adamu Bachirawa, were brought before the court by the police over allegations that they killed Umar following a disagreement involving a dog.
The case was heard by Garba Hamza Malafa, while the prosecution was led by Awaisu Sani Lawan, who asked the court to read the charges to the defendants.
After the charges were read, both men pleaded not guilty.
The court granted the request and adjourned the case until December 16, 2026, for further proceedings.
